Once again I strike, but this time with a digital camera, not a stupid computer webcam ;D
I know some of the pictures are kinda sucky, but others are somewhat decent. So, check it. I'm gonna let you guys in on my formula, cause I know what it is like not to have great painting skills...ha.
SORRY FOR THE SIDEWAYS PICS, I EDITED THEM ON PHOTOBUCKET BUT THEY DIDNT REGISTER
Let's start with "The Natural" Butch Reed
This one looks way better in real life. NOTE: I KNOW SOMEONE ELSE DID A REED JUST RECENTLY SIMILAR TO THIS, BUT MINE WAS ALREADY IN THE WORKS, PLUS REED HAD BLACK KNEEPADS, UNLIKE THE OTHER CUSTOM. I must say their custom is way sweeter though... Thnks and some credz to the other Reed maker...
Head=Painted Rocky Johnson
Body, Torso, Legs=CS 13 Ernie Ladd.
Wristape=Wild Samoans, I think...
Boots=Right off the Killer Bees
Yellow Trunks=Made from fabric...I think a ROCKY's Paulie Jacket...not too shabby
*Bell tolls*
This is one figure That was a breeze to make
Head=CSDA Undertaker
Body=From purple gloved undertaker in 3 faces of undertaker three pack
hands=TRICKY...off of CS1 Taker...there was no peg, so I gorilla glued both ends together using a knee joint peg off some random figure....The hands DO rotate!
Leg Covers=again from 3 pack taker
Ok, some have seen this one before, pretty easy custom, since it was 80% part swaps, 15% taking printouts and transfering them onto his torso, and 5% modding (his hair)
This Owen is based off of his Wrestlemania X match VS Bret.
Head=DA Kenny Dykstra modded
Body= ???Cant Remember exactly, lets just say Sylvester Turkay works...
Boots=just plain ol' black rocky boots. Thinks I gots dem from a Stone Cold.
Most of you might notice that white thing wrapping his left knee. I noticed in the match Owen wore kinda like a white ace bandage or wrapped that knee. FOR THIS I USED A OLD STYLE WHITE KNEEPAD, FLIPPED INSIDE OUT. Works Great. Didn't want to ruin Owen by Painting his logos, so I used printouts and made him useable for play
Last but not Least, My personal favorite:
DIESEL Hybrid to SCALE!
Someone earlier last year asked me for the recipe, but now this is Version 2, with a more realistic figure of him
Here's what I did:
Head=CS Diesel
Torso=Hulk Hogan from Hogan/Blassie 2 pack. I added a printout custom made for his logo.
Arms=CSDA Kevin Nash, to give him more of the beefy arm look he had
Legs=CSDA Ted Dibiase minus the gold stripes....This was to give him the right scale.
Also with the recipe I did with Taker, it makes Taker taller.
Here's a scale pic to Giant Gonzales (Not a custom :
Let's just say I found a way to give Taker and Nash some height.
Thanks for reading!
